- The Mega Sword is a weapon from the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
The Mega Sword was an extremely powerful weapon wielded by Megatron. A double-bladed pike with the ability to energize its two blades. When spun rapidly, it executed an attack known as the Cyclone Blast; when spun very rapidly it could double as both a melee weapon and a shield. It also split to form single-bladed swords, and many parts of Megatron alt modes.
After Megatron metamorphosed into Galvatron, it was renamed the Striker Lance and gained even more power.
Fiction
2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon
Megatron first used one half of the sword to disable the attacks of Team Bullet Train, but he was forced to retreat after the three combined into Rail Racer and soundly defeated him with their combined might. Bullet Train to the Rescue Later, after the Predacons took Side Burn hostage, they held him to ransom in exchange for the surrender of Optimus Prime. After Optimus complied, he was bound up and beaten into submission by Megatron, with the latter using one half of his Mega Sword to do so. When the Autobots mounted a rescue of their comrades, Megatron used the same half of his sword to block one of Prowl's attacks before continuing the fight in his Dragon Mode. Sideburn's Obsession When the Autobot Tow-Line had been freed from his reprogramming by the Predacons, Megatron joined up with his teammates to engage the Autobots. He drew his Mega Sword and used it strike Rapid Run from above, but the Bullet Train was quick enough to just barely block it in time with his Deflector Shield. As the battle intensified and turned in favor of the Autobots, Megatron tried for one more blow to Rapid Run, only for his sword to prove ineffective against Rapid Run's Shield Power Ram, which sent Megatron packing. Tow-Line Goes Haywire Much later, during a time when Ultra Magnus's loyalties were being tested by the Predacons, the Autobot Brothers had been captured and Optimus Prime was lured into a trap in which he could not fight back without harm coming to the Autobot Brothers. Megatron shortly arrived and once again wielded his sword in battle, this time using his Cyclone Blast on the helpless Autobot leader. After Ultra Magnus saved the Autobot Brothers, the four of them joined in the fight, only for the Brothers to soon find themselves on the receiving end of Megatron's Cyclone Blast, which they narrowly dodged before Megatron (once again) switched to Dragon Mode for the remainder of the fight. The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus
The sword would not see use again for some time until after Megatron's upgrade into Galvatron, Peril from the Past by which point it had been renamed the Striker Lance. After having taken children all over the world hostage with his Cyber-bats, Galvatron sent the Autobots into retreat via their Global Space Bridge. He then sent the Decepticons in pursuit of them as part of a much more devious plan. Galvatron sought to remove the wall separating molten magma from the Space Bridge's tunnel in an attempt to drown the Autobots and the formerly-traitorous Decepticons in a sea of lava.

Galvatron's Revenge In his ultimate clash with Omega Prime, Galvatron wielded his Striker Lance one final time. He clashed swords against Omega's newly-manifested Matrix Blade, spinning the Striker Lance around to block each of the Matrix Blade's blows until one final decisive strike from the Matrix Blade sliced the Striker Lance into pieces. And because Galvatron had transferred so much of his own energy into the lance, when it was finally shattered by the Matrix Blade, the loss of that energy caused his defeat. The Final Battle
